I'm being admitted to the hospital tonight for the first time since I was 13.
I got pneumonia because, most likely, I aspirated food or liquid.

This is how ALS works. It gets worse and worse. Life becomes harder and harder. Even fun becomes more arduous.
If you have your health, I urge you to cherish it every day. Say thanks for it, and never take it for granted.

Make the best use you can of your brief time on this earth. Do today what will make you proud tomorrow, proud on your deathbed.
.@rachael_scar and I know what life feels like on the mountaintop. We were there. For a few blissful years, the two of us. And then for four perfect months with our Baby Carl.

And now we know what it is like to be laid low, abandoned by Lady Luck.
It is hard. It is no fun. But we will do it together, surrounded by people who love us.

That is probably the best we can hope for now. To make meaning, find peace, and ensure that Carl has the best childhood possible, despite our personal tragedy.
